WEIRD: Man Finds A Super Expensive Superman Comic In An Old House.

Sup Travellers?! Have you ever stumbled upon a gold mine? Or maybe even an oil field? Or how about just a super rare super man comic book? Well all of these things have the potential to make you a rich person, just ask David Gonzalez. This man bought an abandoned home but in the end managed to find something more expensive than the entire house itself. How lucky can one man get? Read on.

According to reports from the Minneapolis Star Tribune, David Gonzalez bought an abandoned home in Elbow Lake, Minnesota, for about US$10,000. His plan was to just re model the house, but he got a bit more than he bargained for. In the walls of the house, amid the newspapers used as insulation, Gonzalez found a copy of the Holy Grail of comic books: 1938's Action Comics #1, the first ever appearance of Superman. He's auctioning it off, and the current bid is more than US$113,000. The auction ends on June 11 so the bid can increase.

However, there is one thing that sucks about this whole story. The comic itself is worth about US$2 million but the one that Gonzalez found was in really really poor condition so US$2 million is a bit of a no deal. And what made it even worst is when Gonzalez invited his in-laws to look at his find, his wife's aunt grabbed the comic; Gonzalez grabbed it back, and the back cover tore. "That was a $75,000 tear," says the co-owner of the auction house selling the book. Even so, collectors have been wowed by the book, considering it's never been traded or resold and is "like a virgin comic," says another co-owner. "I always wanted a 1992 Camaro IROC Z28," David tells the New York Daily News. "I think I have enough money to buy my Camaro now." He also plans to pay off his house and truck, and his wife will finish school.

Not everyone gets that lucky to find such a rare comic book. Too bad that it was in poor condition, he would have easily joined the millionaire ranks if it wasn't. But, he's still raking in a lot of cash for his find, so I don't think that it's a big deal if he he's not getting the initial worth. Anyway, my name is Trinikid and you've just been informed.

Where are all my John Wick fans? I've got some epic news for you. Starz and Lionsgate have teamed up to create a new TV show called The Continental which focuses a lot of its attention on The Continental Hotel and Keanu Reeves is said to be making some appearances. It's sort of like Bradley Cooper in the Limitless series (I assume).

The Continental hotel will be portrayed as a refuge for the film's assassins that offers a host of new mysterious stories and characters.
"Set in a hyper-real version of Los Angeles, the series maintains the urgency of the action along with the dry humor from the John Wick movies," the press release read.
Keanu Reeves will not be the showrunner. That title is being held by Chris Collins.
“This series is truly unlike anything else on TV,” said Starz President & CEO Chris Albrech, promising the same "thunderous fight sequences and intensely staged shootouts," while exploring "new darkly compelling characters who inha…

Hugh Jackman's last performance as Wolverine was in the film "Logan" and now there feels like there is a void in the universe! Who's going to take up the mantle as Wolverine?
Well, Scott Eastwood has publicly showed his interest in it and I think he will be a good choice. There isn't any word on whether or not he'll actually be Wolverine but a fan artist has already created art showing how young Eastwood would look like as Wolverine.

And since Disney bought Fox the X-Men franchise now belong to the Marvel Cinematic Universe and Disney is going to completely rebrand the X-Men series. And I actually can't wait to see what they do to all our favorite mutants.
If you are a big fan of Scott Eastwood then you should be aware that he stars in Pacific Rim Uprising and that hits theaters this weekend. Are you ready?

Chris Evans is no longer going to be playing the role of Captain America after Avengers 4 and the Marvel Cinematic Universe is now "SHOOKETH"!

Now, this isn't the first time we hear of an actor saying that they will no longer be playing a role, only to return. But Chris Evans doesn't look like the kind of guy to change his mind.
Chris Evans, during an interview about his broadway debut in the upcoming play "Manchester by the Sea" he said: "You want to get off the train before they push you off."
He has been filming back to back without rest and he has expressed that he wants to go on to new things especially as his role as Captain America has made it hard for him to take up some roles. Chris Evans isn't the first actor to express their plans of leaving the MCU. I mean, how long can the MCU actually go on for? Is it going to go on forever and ever. Maybe Avengers 4 is a good time to end the MCU or just bring about a whole new Universe within…
